Omicron, the new coronavirus variant, has affected people around the world. Around 1.5 billion people throughout the world this year have been newly infected with the coronavirus. This information was revealed by the World Health Organization (WHO). The European countries have expressed a sigh of relief as the symptoms of Omicron infection are mild. Although Omicron continues to dominate in France, Germany, and Spain, European experts are expecting a glimmer of hope.
The Spanish administration has informed the citizens – the pandemic of coronavirus has now become endemic. That means the coronavirus will be the same as the flu. It is wise to go about your daily routine without being much worried.
In a recent interview with the BBC, Nadeem Jahawi, Education Secretary of Britain said that the way news of corona infection is coming in Britain every day, it was clear that hard immunity would be created through group infection. That is why the coronavirus may vanish through this omicron variant, and there is no reason to worry about the coronavirus pandemic.
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez told the radio station that there was no doubt that the number of infections in Spain had increased compared to the previous year. However, the number of hospital admissions has decreased. The mortality rate has also decreased. He also said that it would be better to come to a real conclusion only after researching more information about Omicron.

Despite repeated warnings of the World Health Organization, Omicron is seen by many as ‘minor’. Many have the opinion that freedom from coronavirus can be achieved only through Omicron. In fact, omicron is so highly contagious compared to other strains of coronavirus that most of the world will be infected this time.
Scientists say that when a large number of people are exposed to a certain strain of a virus, hard immunity is created in the population. Some have already expressed the hope that this widespread infection of Omicron will act as an overall antidote. If that happens then there is no need to take antidote separately. However, it is not yet time to talk about the importance of vaccines.
But, according to the world news, Belgium is not forcing anyone to get vaccinated. However, France and Germany are giving emphasis on vaccines. Experts say that although Omicron is ‘mild’, those whose immune system is much higher than normal are more concerned with this third wave.
Ultimately the overall expectation is that – Omicron will be the beginning of the end of the Corona pandemic and relaxation on mask and vaccine will be throughout the world.
